Advanced protection for
Paper and Cardboard
Recyclable, compostable, and repulpable water-based coatings for paper, cardboard, and corrugated board packaging.
High resistance
Superior barrier
Technical Features
Water Barrier Coatings
These products protect your paper packaging from liquid water, also known in the industry as waterproofing agents. Barrier measurement is performed with the COBB test and can be applied to paper, cardboard, and corrugated board.
Grease Barrier Coatings
Coatings that protect paper from natural fats and oils, also known as greaseproof. Barrier measurement is performed according to the 3M Kit test and can be applied to paper, cardboard, and corrugated board.
Moisture Barrier Coatings
Advanced protection against moisture and vapor for frozen foods and cold chain packaging.
Coatings for Industrial Applications
Specialized technical solutions: anti-slip, anticorrosive, and anti-abrasive.
Paper cups
The plastic-free revolution. 100% recyclable and repulpable.
